The Overwatch Summer Games have officially concluded, ending the reign of “Lucioball”. Now, we are introduced to a new Weekly Brawl titled “Highly Offensive”.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Welcome to The 2016 Overwatch Summer Games! In light of the Olympics, Overwatch is presenting us with new hero skins, emotes, and a Weekly Brawl called “Lucioball”.

People are loving Overwatch, and it’s never hard to find someone to play with. It is, however, sometimes difficult to rank up. Competitive matches are unforgiving, and quick play is a grab bag of...

“The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” is the title for this week’s Overwatch brawl. In this brawl, you play as either The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, a.k.a McCree, Reaper, or Roadhog.

This brawl tries to amplify the MOBA aspect of Overwatch, and successfully...

The Overwatch Weekly Brawl for this week of 7/5/16 is titled “Show Your Support”, a game mode all about support heroes.

Overwatch’s weekly brawl for the week of 6/28/16 is called “Justice Rains from Above”, a game mode centered around dominating the skies.
